Magic to help with South Florida HIV/AIDS victims
The unfortunate fact about diseases such as HIV/AIDS is that even though treatments are developed, they are often costly to produce and as a result are unavailable for many afflicted by the disease, but once in a while, magic happens. In this case the magic was Magic Johnson Enterprises who partnered with the University of Miami and Clear Health Alliance, a Medicaid specialty plan offered by Simply Healthcare Plans, who is a client of Telax Hosted Call Center.
The idea is to provide high quality medical services to people in South Florida that do not have access to health care. These types of initiatives are critical for much of the world’s population, and they demonstrate that it's in our nature to help one another.
One of the areas of South Florida that this initiative will focus on is the Miami-Dade County, an ethnically diverse urban community that ranks first in the United States for new AIDS cases per capita. Broward County with shares borders with Miami-Dade is another and happens to rank second in new AIDS cases per capita.
“The goal of our enterprise is to deliver a variety of services to ethnically diverse communities,” Johnson said. “Aligning with Clear Health Alliance and doctors with the University of Miami will bring a comprehensive approach to caring for many Hispanics and African-Americans affected by HIV/AIDS who, up until now, may have not had access to adequate care. We understand these needs and know that this partnership will bring real solutions to the challenges facing these patients.”
We’re proud to support one of the companies in this admirable endeavour with our hosted call center solution, and we’re even prouder to support the entire effort in spirit.
